Z Is For Zorglub by André Franquin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
To note: The past couple of years I’ve been adding comic/graphic novels to the reading list to keep my head in a good part of my training: Sequential storytelling.
This is the best of the Spirou series I’ve read. The plot is rather simple. It’s the execution and all tied to it that has this a more complicated and fulfilling graphic novel. The bad guy is well introduced through pages and then a splash of an image. From that point the tentacles of the plot spread and snares all in one form or other. How the duo heroes and squirrel and the odd animal get caught up and wrapped into the story is full of clever situations and good storytelling. One welcome missing element are pages of slapstick.
The artwork is very good. Especially negotiating through large crowds and giant machinery.
A major drawback is the font and size used throughout. With such an involved tale, the font setting makes too much hard to read.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 9 out of ten points.
